MULTICOLOR PENCIL CASE.

Application mea February 4, 1926. serial No. 875,947.

This invention relates to multicolor pencil cases,and belongs toV thatclass or type of writing or marking-devices that are intended to permitthe user a selection of the colorof the pencil, chalk or crayon'for anypurpose. f

The object of this invention is the production of a pencil case orcontainerof the cliaracter stated possessing parts of special con-ystruction and operation whereby it 1s lie-- -th'e invention" shall bemade up in sizes -con Y Venient for carrying in the pocket in likemanner with the ordinary fountain pen.

Fig.v 1 of the-drawings is a side'view partly in section vert-icallyandlengthwise of the casing` Fig. 2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3 isa`fragmentary sectional view of one of ythe pencil'carrying slideslocated in a groove of the revoluble pencil support. Fig. 4 is across-section on theindirect broken line 4-,4

Throughout the drawingsand description the same `number is used to`referto the same art. p Considering the drawings, the casing 1,which'vmay be madeofhard rubber or any chosen metal, has an issueterminal 2 for the pencil, a slot 3 extending lengthwise of the casingin the direction of the terminal, anda transverse slot 4 terminating theslot 3 at about the middle of the length of the casing. Finger pieces orsmall knobs 5 and 5a are made of such size as to pass through thetransverse slot 4. Each finger piece has a stern or connection 6,usually formed with a projecting end 7 and of spring wire, that formsthe attachment to the slide 8 that carries the pencil 9, as best shownin Fig. 3.

Each pencil and its carrier slide travels a groove 1() formed lengthwisein a pencil support 11, which is a cylindrical body. Each groove 10, of`which there may be any desired number, can be brought to register withthe issue orifice 12 in the terminal 2 of the casing. It will be notedthat the issue terminal and orifice are located onV one side the'centralv longitudinal axis of the cas- 1ng,'and that the cylindricalmember'll is arranged against the side of the casing havy ing tlie slotv Reference number 13 is a stop cup located within the casing' andprovided with a bearing 14 for the inner end of the cylindrical membery11, the other end of which is revolu ble incontact with the tapering endof the casing at which the terminal 2 is placed.

Thatis to say, 'the cylinder 11 may be revolved in bearingla and in thetapering end portion of the casing in which it is fitted.

Again considering Fig. 3, it will be noted that the end 7 ofthe-connection 6 of then` gerV piece 5 touches the stop 13. This`contact limits the inward movement of the slide and brings the lingerpieces in proper register with the transverse slot 4 in the casing. YThe operation so far as projectingor withdrawing the pencil 9A isconcerned is the saine as usual in suchkcases. The connection 6 of thefinger piece '5-'is made to travel the slot 3', and the point oftheVpencil may be exposed as far as need be. The end7 of the connection 6presses uponthe bottom of the groove 10, and thus holds the slideagainst the in side'of the casing, and the pencil in position. It willbe noted from Fig-4 that if'the fin-V ger piece 5v be moved towards theleft hand its engagement with the slide in the groove' 10 willrevolvethe cylinder support 11, and the second linger piecea will passoutwardly through'the transverseslot 4L in the 'casing, whilev at thesaine time the finger Vpiece 5 will. pass inwardlythrough the same slot-into the casing. As drawn, although not essentially so, the'niovementoutwardly of one linger piece is in the opposite direction to themovement outwardly of the second finger piece. Y

It is thought that various modifications maybe readily made within thepurview of this invention, and the claims are not intended to beconfined `to the precise forms and dispositions of the partsillustrated.

Having now described this invention and.

explained the mode of its operation, what I claim is A 1. A multi-colorpencil case, comprising an external casing tapering to an issue terminalarranged at one side of the central longitudinal axis of the casing, acylindrical pencil support having spaced grooves formed lengthwisetherein, means for holding the said cylindrical support revoluble Withinthe casing, pencil carryiner slides .movable in the said grooves, thesaid casingf having a slot extending lengthwise therein towards the saidterminal7 a transverse slot in the casingr terminating the saidlengthwise slot,` linger pieces having connections attachedto the saidslides and constructed to be moved in the said lengthwise slot o'l thecasing and whereby the said cylindrical support may 10 be revolved, andthe said linger pieces construeted to be turned outwardly through thesaid transverse slot into an operative position and inwardly through thesaid slot into an inoperative position.

2. A multicolor pencil cafe, comprising a casing, a longitudinallygrooved support for the pencils revoluble in the casing7 the pencilsbeing,r movable lengthwise in the grooved support, the said casinghavingl a transverse slot and a longitudinal slot opening,r into thetransverse slot, linger pieces movable in the said transverse slot andacting upon the said support to partly rotate the same, cach fingerpiece being constructed to travel `the said longitudinal slot in thecasing, and means for connecting the linger Mpiece and a pencil wherebythe pencil may be moved out through the end of the casing and withdrawn.

80 3. A multi-color pencil case, oon'iprising a casino, a revolublesupport in the `using, the pencils being carriedby said support andmovable lengthwise thereon, the said casing;r having artransverse slotand a longitudinal slot openingr into the transverse slot, lingerpieces, movable in the said transverse slot and acting upon the saidsupport to partly rotate the same, movable means carried by the supportfor connecting the finger pieces and pencils, andeaeh finger piecebeing` con-` structed to travel the said longitudinal slot in the casingwhereby a `pencil may be moved out through the end of the casing andwithdrawn.

k445 4. A multi-color pencil case, comprising an external casingtapering to an issue ter- `minal arranged at one side 0i' thecentrallongitudinal axis of the casing, a cylindrical and revoluble V)encilsupport having spaced grooves former lengthwise therein, the saidcylindrical support havingr one end revoluble in contact; with thetapering end ot the raising, a bearing located within the casing 4forthe other end oit the said su i Jort encils in the said grooves, pencilcarrying slides movable in `the said grooves, the said casing having aslot extending lengthwise therein towards the said terminal and `,atransverse slot in communication `with the said lengthwise slot, lingerpieces having connections with the said slides constructed to move alongthe said lengthwise slot `oi the casing, and the said linger piecesbeing arranged to revolve the said support andto be moved outwardlythrough said transverse 1 slot into an operative position and inwardly ithrough the said slot into an inoperative tion movable through thetransverse slotinto` the easing on rotating the said support `1n onedirection, and movable out through said slot on a contrary rotation ofthe support,A

and each finger piece being constructed to travel the said longitudinalslot in the' cas-v, ing whereby a pencil may be moved out through theend of the casing and with.- drawn.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
